Pre-RFPPublic HealthDetected Jun 15, 2026

The city held a special meeting on June 15, 2026 to discuss the finances and future of Cherry Corners, a city-owned care facility, including whether to remain memory care or switch back to assisted living. The facility is asking the city for help with vendor payments and payroll, and the city has paid over $100,000 since December to cover expenses and building repairs. The Cherry Corner board will decide on June 24 whether to recommend a switch, and will present that to City Council on July 7.This is an early planning signal for operational restructuring, potential new services, updated staffing/benefits, and possibly new vendor relationships to stabilize the facility’s finances and occupancy.

Discussion included marketing/advertising needs and possible changes to employee insurance cost-sharing to reduce facility expenses.
